Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter. If you need a substitute for Wesson oil, melted butter or vegetable oil works well. Ensure your waffle iron is thoroughly preheated for crispy results. For additional texture, try incorporating finely chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Tom's Waffles with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream for a delightful breakfast treat. They also pair beautifully with sweet or savory toppings like yogurt, nut butter, or even a side of crispy bacon. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a fruit salad or a refreshing smoothie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid. To reheat, toast them in a toaster or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through and crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It's best to prepare the batter fresh for optimal texture, but you can mix the dry ingredients ahead and store them in an airtight container. Just add the wet ingredients and proceed with the recipe when you're ready to cook.
What can I do if my waffles stick to the iron?
If your waffles are sticking, ensure your waffle iron is adequately preheated and greased before adding the batter. You can also try using a non-stick spray or a light coat of oil to help prevent sticking.
Can I make these waffles dairy-free?
Yes! You can substitute the sweet milk with almond milk or any other non-dairy milk. Just ensure to choose a variety that has a similar consistency to achieve the best results in your waffles.
